USSR&R: Rock on a Red Horse - Friday, 6/13, 6-8 pm
Directed and Produced by Ken Thurlbeck
The period from 1985-1991, infamous for cultural upheaval in the U.S.S.R., witnessed a supposedly state-sanctioned revolution, known more commonly as the period of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring). Ken Thurlbeck’s acclaimed documentary film explores the underground rebel music of Soviet youths during that tumultuous time. The film USSR&R: Rock on a Red Horse outlines rock music’s powerful role in the complicated political and social transformation. In sixty minutes the film covers snippets of clandestine rehearsals, illegal concerts shut down by the KGB, and interviews with fans of state-banned rock & roll. In addition, the film includes performance footage from an eclectic variety of bands, musicians, and composers who risked sanction, exile, and incarceration for their music.
During this period, the so-called “dregs of society” sought in music an expressive outlet for their political disillusionment. USSR&R: Rock on a Red Horse artfully details how the music helped galvanize a cultural reform, which most history texts attribute almost exclusively to economic and public policy reforms. “USSR&R” provides fresh insight to a widely discussed, seldom understood paradigm shift that was set into motion by youths opposed to the communist aesthetic. Through Thurlbeck’s one discovers how music helped undermine public confidence in the state’s ability to prevent descent into poverty and chaos, let alone to lead society to the prosperity it promised.
Although Glasnost was ostensibly a “facilitating concept,” opening doors for writers and journalists to test and stretch the limits of free speech, the KGB banned Thurlbeck from entering the country upon discovering his involvement in this documentary. Nevertheless, he continued to find passage for himself and his crew and was nicknamed “The Tunnel” for his uncanny ability to slip in and out of the country undetected. As Thurlbeck demonstrates in his film, the ideal of glasnost transmogrified from a state-bestowed privilege into a right indignantly asserted at the grass roots level. This “expansion in meaning” was helped along by damaging exposés, investigative reports, and films such as this.
Thurlbeck is an award winning creative professional who has worked internationally. He developed Café Films, an international television commercial production company, and has directed over 1000 television commercials. Ken has directed several other documentaries including “Rocky Road,” “Pacifico Beer,” and “Issey Miyake.”
Chelsea Art Museum is pleased to present this film, as it relates its recent exhibition “Thaw: Russian Art from Glasnost to Present.”

The Promised Land: a video art exhibition about the consequences of globalization, May 22 - July 5
Curator, Blanca De la Torre
Carlos Amorales’ The Forest
The Promised Land presents a cycle of projections and video installations by several prominent artists. The feature installations will rotate and each one will be on display for one week. Additionally, in conjunction with the feature installations, a video program conceived especially for the occasion will run throughout the duration of the exhibition. Participating artists will also hold talks at Chelsea Art Museum to introduce their work and explain their artistic practices to the public.
The Promised Land highlights the ironic consequences of globalization. It is conceived around a central question: Has globalization advanced or hindered society? Conventional wisdom holds that globalization is synonymous with progress and produces tangible benefits. The artists in this exhibition explore whether those perceived benefits are real or imagined. By examining the cultural, sociological, and political problems that have arisen as the byproducts of an increasingly globalizes world, The Promised Land juxtaposes the ideals of co-existence, acceptance, and cultural diversity with the reality of prejudice, alienation, censorship, and nationalism.
May 22 – 29 - Ivan Navarro’s Flashlight: I Am Not From Here, I Am Not From There (2006) shows a man pushing “Flashlight,” a fluorescent wheelbarrow sculpture by Navarro, through deserted city streets and along a railroad track. The soundtrack accompanying the journey is a ballad of transience and dislocation played out by the rolling sculpture.
May 29 – June 5 - Antoni Muntadas’ Cross-Cultural Television is a montage of television footage from various regions of the world, highlighting the way the programs conform to an internationalized image. The video appears to be the product of systematic elimination of any elements that would signify an association with a particular cultural community.
June 5 – 12 - In Nomads East West Montse Arbelo and Joseba Franco traveled around the across the globe, recording their experiences with their laptops and video cameras. Wandering through a world full of contradictions, they shared their culture with those they encountered and experienced a great deal of human diversity on the streets. Ultimately, they concluded that despite differences in skin color, language, culture, economic status, and other differentiating factors, human similarities outweigh our differences.
June 12 – 19 – Jeanette Doyle’s "body (orient)" documents the journey from the site of the executions in Tiananmen Square to the 'civilizing' site of the Beijing Art Fair. The audio element is directly taken from Sidney Lumet's 'Murder on the Orient Express', which itself comprises of the fictional 'record' of a bunch of 'foreigners' being transported and interrogated in transit.
June 19 – 26 - Carlos Amorales’ The Forest is conceived as a sharp metaphor of the society habited by wrestlers in suits, black crows and planes descending from the sky. An apocalyptic installation were the dreamlike alternates with the menacing, and the rapid, repetitive succession of the symbols create a perverse sense of apprehension in the viewer. An allegorical interpretation of the collective threatens in globalized society
June 26 – July 5 - Artists in the collective Democraciapainted the word “charity” on the trash receptacles located outside of a supermarket, where people regularly line up to take the stale food that the supermarket has discarded. The video installation, called Charity, includes “Charity’s perfume,” an odor of rotten food that is dispensed in the gallery to heighten visitors’ awareness of the regrettable situation. Visitors may also buy “Charity’s perfume”from a vending machine.
The following video program will be presented in conjunction with the feature installations and will run from May 22 – July 5:
In Don’t Do it Wrong, several artists portray various aspects of today’s globalized world, drawing viewers’ attention to certain subtleties that are often overlooked. Katarina Zdjèlar (Don’t Do It Wrong) explores social rituals as power structures and shows how such rituals foster a sense of belonging. In Avelino Sala’s Arde lo que Será, football players, each wearing a different team’s uniform, play an endless match with a ball of fire. Javier Velasco (Ópera Para Migrantes Mexicanos) performs an opera analyzing the "Guide for Mexican Emigrants" distributed by the Mexican government as an "educational" campaign about the potential dangers of crossing the border illegally.
Shahram Entekhab (MLaden) draws the picture of the stereotype criminal immigrant from the Balkans, in Berlin raising questions about the complexity of migration and segregation of the public space, . Similarly, B Hakeem (Negotiations) highlight the irony of the term “negotiation” that is still used today in all the realms, political, social and religious life. Finally, Manuela Viera-Gallo (Digging the American Dream) portrays a woman desperately carving the land as a metaphor for the dream shared by countless immigrants striving to reach the ‘promised land’.
